Word is getting out! The American Foreclosure and Mortgage Relief Foundation is making a difference in the current mortgage crisis in America. The first concert event, which happened on April 24, 2010 and raised money for a Foreclosure Prevention Workshop in Springfield Illinois that following weekend, was featured on a prominent Chicago Real Estate Blog.
The concert was a sell-out and the Foreclosure Prevention Workshops were well attended. The entire weekend was a huge success. According to Roberta Hahn, the Foundation’s CEO and the one who started the entire program, there were over 650 people in the small venue and as a result of the concert’s success, two sessions of the first Foreclosure Prevention Workshop were held at the Illinois Association of Realtor’s building in Springfield, Illinois. The workshop helped struggling local families in need of mortgage relief.
Along with ticket sales and venue revenue from concessions, the event featured a silent auction along with traditional sponsorships. The lead sponsor, the National Association of Realtor’s, donated $100,000 to help put on the events.
Through this concert event, which featured Tommy Castro, a national blues artist, the foundation was able to raise money and host a Foreclosure Prevention Workshop in Springfield Illinois. The concert and the workshop were both huge successes, well attended, and many local families in Springfield who were challenged with foreclosure were helped.
The article in the Illinois Realtor Magazine showcases the foundation and what we stand for. Our founder and CEO, Roberta Hahn, has worked in several not-for-profit companies in the past and in continuing her legacy of helping American families through their devastating financial situation so that they can remain in their homes and in their mortgages.
The American Foreclosure and Mortgage Relief foundation’s (AFAMR) Rock the House Blues Bash was a complete success. The event was held at the Eagles Club in Springfield IL on April 21. The show which was emceed by Mitch Levinson managing partner at mRELEVANCE, included some local artist as well as acclaimed Blues artists Tommy Castro and Shannon Curfman.
The National Association of Realtors helped to sponsor the event with a $100,000 donation. Thanks to the success of the sold out event which was conceived by AFAMR’s own Roberta Hahn CEO of AFAMR, the organization was able to hold two sessions of it’s first workshop on April 24th at the headquarters of the Illinois Association of Realtors in Springfield, Illinois.
“I am so thankful for all of our sponsors and for the support of a nationwide community to make a difference,” Hahn remarked. “Our motto is, ‘We are America. Together we can!’ That ‘together’ thing is key, because without everybody who participated, we wouldn’t have had such a great success.”
The event was the first of a series of planed events nationwide which will help fund AFAMR’s mission of educating American homeowners on how to prevent and avoid foreclosure on their homes.
